    Never getting married and having a family. And frogs. Definitely frogs.
  • Spiders.... like no joke. I can watch videos and see pictures of them, but the real things scare me half to death. I'll go into full 'panic attack' mode just from being close to one.
  • Snakes! Then frogs. Heights , practically everything, I'm a wimp. Roller coasters , boats, not being able to see land
  • Anything happening to my kids, hands down. Followed by rattlesnakes (eek!)

    needles. This has held me back so much. I have delayed surgeries, have turned down travel (with work) etc. I have even tried hypnotherapy, but I still can't deal with them :)

    I am terrified of heights. So you won't see me anywhere where I have to deal with it. Always has been an issue for me.

    Spiders and creepy crawlies of all sorts.
    Being trapped underground in a small space.
    Staying when I should go.

    Something bad happening to my children, husband or mom... or dying. I get such high anxiety anytime I think about death. :(

    I'm most afraid of outliving my children.

    Me too.

    We'll, since I'm in the middle of a divorce which I never in a billion years thought would happen to me....my fear would be being alone forever. Although, it's better to be alone than be with the wrong person

    Water! I don't know how to swim... Even small things like doing the dishes in a deep sink freaks me out.

    Dementors. C'mon, those things are scary!

    But I guess in all seriousness mine comes down to fear of failure :tongue:

    ThIs is a really entertaining thread. I love the odd combination of things that are really bad (outliving children) and things that are completely harmless (crawfish and small insects). It's interesting to think about why we fear certain things which seem irrational.

    For me, death. And butterflies.

    Crumpets.
    Haha aren't those like english muffins kind of? What's the story with those? Are you deathly allergic to an ingredient in them or something? Or just totally kidding? I can never tell when you guys are being sarcastic :tongue:

    Not kidding. It's the holes. They make me want to peel my own skin off.

    Being powerless against those that want or will cause harm to my son. I'll gladly wear someone's blood as war paint that succeeds in harming him in any way. :explode: :mad:
